Ribbon and Bow Tying Video Tutorial

Good morning!!

Today I want to share a few projects that I have recently created with beautiful ribbons and bows. I filmed a video showing an easy method to create your own big fluffy bow.

This Olive sheer ribbon with a satin stripe in the center is my FAVORITE!!! I recently “had” to purchase an entire spool, Sheer/Satin Stitched Center by May Arts.

Here it is….

Please watch my video on how I tie bows.

Bow Tying Tutorial

Here are a couple of other cards that I created using wonderful ribbons by May Arts.

The first layer of ribbon used is the fabulous Ivory Net by May Arts. I adhered the netting to the background patterned paper with an adhesive runner and cut chevrons at each end.

I wrapped the May Arts Twill Turquoise Striped Ribbon around patterned paper on the front card panel. I tied this ribbon with the same steps using in the video.

I wanted to use ribbon on a card for a boy and this is what I came up with. I simply adhered a piece of ribbon with double sided tape onto the card front. I have always thought of ribbon to be for girls, but not any more!! The ribbon used here was Red/Pink Line Edge sheer ribbon by May Arts.

I hope my video and this post inspired your to get out your ribbons and go BOW CRAZY!!!
